r stream was obtained by means of calibrated static plates in the return passages leading to a manometer in the experiment chamber. In order to know the pitch of the propellers while in operation, the deflection of one blade was measured at the 42-inch radius by means of a telescope mounted on a… … Fig. 3.—VE-7 airplane mounted in Propeller Research Tunnel The resultant horizontal force of the propeller-body combination which may be either a thrust or a drag, was measured on the regular thrust balance. (Also described m reference 1.) TWs resultant horizontal force, B, may be thought of as…
